E-Learning Modules

An entrepreneurial mindset applies to all aspects of life, beginning with curiosity about our changing world, integrating information from various resources to gain insight, and identifying unexpected opportunities to create value. An engineer equipped with an entrepreneurial mindset is able to create extraordinary value within any type of organization. KEEN schools identify, nurture, and develop entrepreneurially minded engineers who will contribute to our national economic prosperity and secure individual fulfillment through a lifetime of meaningful work.

Development of e-learning modules supporting entrepreneurially minded learning is part of this effort. The University of New Haven, a KEEN partner institution, aims to instill an entrepreneurial mindset in its engineering students by integrating e-learning modules into existing engineering and computer science courses. These modules will be shared educational resources, available to KEEN and others.

Modules Currently Available for Use

The modules that have been developed so far, together with the learning outcomes for each module are listed below.

The e-learning modules should be interactive, structured in a way that will allow integration into regular courses or utilization as supplementary resources, and must be accompanied with a teaching guide.

At the University of New Haven, the KEEN e-learning modules are integrated into a variety of courses that span First-Year through senior years of seven engineering and computer science programs. The modules are generic enough to allow their deployment in various courses and majors.

The length of each module is 3-9 hours of online student work. Online student work includes the amount of time a student is expected to spend reviewing material in a module as well as the average time needed to complete module assignments, activities or exercises.
